Hi,
the normal batteries are available in most shops where you can buy batteries for cameras. (Price for 4 batteries in Germany is about USD12 = 25 DM.)
They came out with the calculator, originally.
The batteries may be empty after that long time, the rechargeables may be dead.
Regards

N size alkalines are easy to find, and will last for many months of regular use. Personally I don't think it makes a lot of sense to use a 41C with an AC adapter or NiCd batteries, but there may be other views...
The normal N-size alkalines are availabe at Radio Shack stores, or as Eveready E91 (almost sure, I am telling this from memory), or Duracell MN9100 (sure!). Other brands are also available, as Varta, etc.

a couple of months ago someone here said that some kind of handheld game (pokemon mabye) uses n cells, so as long as kids are using battery operated noisemakers we have batteries. BTW, any more of thoes brand new in the box 41's laying around?

N Cells are still available for around $1.50 each. I have run across many instruments that use N cells beside the HP41's. I agree with Andree that if you don't use the card reader or the wand often, disposable N cells is the way to go.
